^ Headlight looks similar to the Suzuki GW250.
However AFAIK, GW250 doesn't have USD forks and the alloys are different.

MG: Great news!!

For a second we might mistake it to gw250... but its not gw250... and if its the KTM inspired pulsar... then im sad... this thing looks ugly in this pic...

Yes i thought like that first. also the rear shock absorber is not mono as the bike in the pic. so its not GW i think any chance whether its a revamped Mahindra Mojo?

Hey MG, thanks for the information about GT250R and 600c bikes.

Do you happen to have any idea about what Yamaha guy Roy Kurien was referring to when he said in his interview in the end that "you might get surprised"? Any idea if he was talking about Fazer 250 or R25 (or may be something else)?

If you take a closer look its written KAVIR,a bike manufacturer/importer in Iran (told by a xbhpian)even saw their website,this is not for India.

Scoop 2: Two Honda 600cc is currently going through homologation process. Will be launched sometime in the beginning of next year. Model(One is CBR 600RF but can't say it with 100% surity) and price unknown.

@MG: Do you mean Honda CBR600F?

This one: CBR600F | Honda/2011

What is the other one ???? The Hornet or CBF ????............(I am keeping the supersports out of equation)

any new news on GT250R ???

any guess wt will the localized parts [apart from Horn..as with 650].. if the bike is getting homologated .. then it must be same as kawasaki did it to ninja ??

so according to MG source , the mentioned price is around 2.5L.

and surpriced that why no blogsites were picked up this information , at least i expected Bikeadv*** put up detailed price/pic/ride [lol] report by this time

I still think 2.5 lakhs would be a bit steep for the Hyosung!!

On-road price should hover around 2-2.2 lakhs max.

And that is if Hyosung sets up its own manufacturing facility here.

+100. At that price I would pay extra and go for the N250.

Agreed to an extent ..but still the price of Ninja and GT both are allmost equal all over the world ... where GT is priced lil less to Ninja..

if we apply same Here in India .. if on-road price is 2.5L ,.. then its makes perfect sense and a good buy.. remember now Ninja costs upwards 3.3L on-road in B'lore.

and also considering the revised ckd import taxes of Govt.. i still think its good amount..

but anything more than 2.8L OTR its better to wait for purchase and look towards localized one in next 3-4years.

over the last 3 years i accumulated enough $$ to purchase one .. but i can't go for Ninja ..as even though i have money i don;t want to spend 3+L on bike [personal view].. GT suits me well only coz of 3 reasons
1. it have enough power for long rides proven engine and ergonomics
2. Dashing look
3. good on fuel consumption [kitna deti hai] as i want to save environment

bottom line is if i am looking 50% for handling and power.. i want rest of the 50% in poser value .. [wt the use after spending this much money ...no one turns head on to ur bike]

and also bike is constantly tested over the year all around the world .. and i don;t giv damn about top speed and some silly issues associated with it [better than currently available bikes in india]
